Double glazing
« on: January 19, 2012, 01:12:04 pm »
We are thinking - at long last - of having the house double glazed.  Can anyone recommend a good company which wont charge a fortune?

We have not had double glazing fitted by these people, but I have had from them several replacement double glazed panels, including complicated ones with circles taken out, they have always been really helpful and their prices seem exceptionally good.  They are Clifton Glass, Builder Street West, Llandudno, LL3 1HH 01492 878905.  I would certainly ask them for a quote, steer well clear of the big names like Everest and the like, the advertising they do is reflected in their prices, you cannot beat using a local firm over a national one.  Good luck.   ££$

I too can reccommend Clifton Glass, they have fitted us with a new Velux roof window and also replaced/repaired a stained glass panel broken by a workman. Both jobs clean and efficient.

I've got double glazed windows made by Clifton Glass in my shed! Very pleased with them.

The said shed with double glazed window panels by Clifton Glass and framed photos by David Roberts from Llandudno Emporium!

Martin, don't delay. I love my shed!

Now, I am not sure this is going to work as I have not attempted to upload a picture before, but here goes.  If it works, the photo is the top of our garden where we would like something like the very posh shed that Hollins has.  We do need something up there other than the seat, the view is directly to Conwy Mountain and to the right, the Great Orme, so a seat upgrade would be nice.

O'h Martin, that is a beautiful place to put a shed.
This small family firm built ours,

http://www.dandpmarchant.com/

They previously made us a log store. They did a first class job on both.
The father is sadly quite poorly so the son built the shed almost by himself, just a little help from a young assistant and an interfering husband!

Reid Home Improvements did the UPVC work on our dormer and it was excellent. They also do Double glazing work as well. I know when I mentioned this forum to them at the time they joined as a member.

Been messing around in Photoshop trying to get photos the correct size to upload, this is the upgrade from my first try, should be bigger, fingers crossed.  Hope it works!

Martin, that looks a lovely spot for a shed.  Hope it works out. 

Llechwedd, I've not had double glazing fitted but Jeff Clutterbuck Windows, Deganwy, was very helpful when I needed to have an upstairs double glazed window taken out and then replaced to get a large piece of furniture in.

Blodyn - Did you know the furniture would not fit before or after it arrived?
